Embodiment Construction
The present invention provides apparatus and methods for locating anomalies in microwave penetrable material, e.g., locating plastic mines or plastic (PVC) pipe in soil. Other concealed objects besides plastic mines can be located with the present invention. For example, an object encased in concrete may be detected. Also, the thickness of a concrete floor can be determined and, in some cases, the depth of a plastic pipeline and the diameter of the pipeline can be determined. Also, the fluid in the pipeline can be determined with a certain a priori knowledge. As discussed above, locating anomalies in microwave penetrable material will encompass locating different types of concealed objects or structures.
Referring now to the drawings and, more particularly, to FIG. 1 there is shown a transmitter / processor 10 in accord with the present invention. Electronics section 12 transmits broad band microwave signal 14 from antenna 15 directed into ground or soil 16 where an object, e.g., a pla...
